Two trucks collided head-on on the CV-870 highway that connects Oriola County, Murada With Abanilla in Murcia. The crash occurred around 12:20 on Thursday, resulting in injuries to one driver who sustained minor harm in the impact.
Orihuela Firefighters
Orihuela fire crews arrived promptly to free the driver remaining trapped in the cabin. The Provincial Fire Consortium noted that despite extensive damage and the severity of the crash, the injured person sustained only minor injuries. The CICU, the Generalitat’s Emergency Coordination Center, did not issue a public statement about aid or intervention after reviewing the situation with local media. The collision caused one vehicle to leave the roadway and created a shoulder area along the roadside. The area features a continuous dual-lane section, with traffic moving in both directions.
Organize traffic
In the wake of the crash, local police units and traffic officers moved in to manage the scene. The local Police and Civilian Traffic Officer coordinated the flow of vehicles until the two trucks could be removed and the road reopened. Six firefighters from Orihuela Park were assigned to the operation, which concluded by mid-afternoon. Traffic conditions began to ease approximately thirty minutes after the clearance, with partial restoration of normal movement as responders completed their work and vehicles were diverted away from the impact site.
The incident underscores the importance of coordinated emergency response and rapid traffic control in rural road corridors. Responders emphasized careful scene assessment, swift extraction where needed, and a orderly restoration of travel on a road that serves as a critical link for regional commerce. Authorities reminded drivers to observe speed limits, stay alert for debris, and follow official detours to maintain safety after collisions of this kind.
